Reliable sources have told us that the Travel Channel has canceled The Dead Files, Portals to Hell, Ghost Brothers, and other paranormal shows. Is The Travel Channel cancelling all their paranormal shows!? Is Paranormal Programming Dead?! Okay enough paranormal puns. 🙂
What’s Next for Paranormal TV?
We know that everyone likes a good ghost story…especially during Halloween. I wonder if paranormal shows will begin to be more seasonal instead of year round. I think the only way to revive paranormal programming is to have the people be there for a reason other than just “finding a ghost.” For instance, having each episode feature a new celebrity artist staying at a different haunted location to write a song inspired by the haunted history. This way the audience will already be captivated by the history, mystery, and watching the artist during their process of writing a song…then if anything paranormal actually happens, it’s just a bonus.

Why aren’t paranormal shows on tv?
The Syfy Network’s paranormal tv shows faced a similar brutal fate years ago when they cancelled Pilgrim Media Group’s Ghost Hunters, Killer Contact, and all other paranormal shows. The Travel Channel then began to resuscitate some of the shows and even mismatched talent, ideas, etc. But the most popular Travel Channel shows always had one thing in common…the name Bagans in the credits.
Compared to traditional production budgets these shows do not cost much to produce. Which is why people are finding a lot of success just making content themselves and posting it on YouTube. There are paranormal channels on YouTube that have millions of followers and put out new episodes weekly. I guess in the paranormal you don’t have to go overboard to keep an audience interested….remember Found Footage movies? 🙂 Paranormal Activity is still the most profitable film ever made in terms of budget vs profit. It was made for only $15,000.
